Meet Our Experts!

Dr. Bruce Jansson PhD

 


We’re excited to interview this amazing policy professor and author of The Sixteen Trillion Dollar Mistake: How the U.S. Bungled its National Priorities from FDR to Clinton.  According to his bio, Dr. Jansson is currently working on a sequel, which will call for a debate on forthcoming national priorities as spending on the elderly and medical care threatens to truncate spending for other domestic priorities. He is also beginning a multi-year study regarding the politics of big-city health systems using Los Angeles as the lead example.
